Enron Is Not “Back”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

There was a lot of chatter on Monday morning about defunct Enron rising from the\u00a0ashes after an X account named “Enron”<\/em> posted, “We’re back. Can we talk?”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Enron (@Enron) December 2, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n

On its website, “Enron.com,” the company, supposedly operating as “Enron Corporation,” published what could be described as one of the laziest press releases imaginable, with formatting that resembles something generated by ChatGPT…\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Buried in the “Terms of Use and Conditions of Sale<\/a>” section of the website, Enron states: “THE INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE IS FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PARODY, REPRESENTS PERFORMANCE ART, AND IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Public records\u00a0forensic analysis via the platform Sayari shows “Enron Corporation” has been “Inactive” for years.\u00a0In other words, the website has nothing to do with defunct Enron.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“No @Enron is not back… Original IP is DEAD and some clever people registered it earlier this year… Caveat emptor<\/strong>,” one X user said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Exactly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And trademarks?<\/p>\n

Enron – saw a gaggle of trademarks filed on this one recently. Before you get excited, pretty obvious that someone bought\/licensed the brand and is about to start selling lame t-shirts and crypto tokens https:\/\/t.co\/tuSPCGDrxM<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Smzy9P70FK<\/a><\/p>\n

Take a look at the alleged Enron team. Whoever built the website just used\u00a0iStock models with a focus on diversity.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Not believable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More LoL from the website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Love this. 10\/10 grift content. It\u2019s got everything. Sand ballet. Old guy eyeballs stapled to an Apple Vision Pro. Farm man. Black guy boxing. Even AI couldn\u2019t fart out something this generic. Top class, boys. https:\/\/t.co\/GumEUev4Jb<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/lKJ253Jb3E<\/a><\/p>\n

Selling merchandise is the goal?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enron is selling $118 hoodies<\/p>\n

Possibly, but this might be tied to a crypto pump-and-dump scheme.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Not sure if this coin is related.<\/p>\n

Funny this Enron coin started trading 30 hours ago https:\/\/t.co\/X4O32cKSWN<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4tnyeImalj<\/a><\/p>\n
